Rationale—Loss of fibulin-4 during embryogenesis results in perinatal lethality due to aneurysm
rupture, and defective elastic fiber assembly has been proposed as an underlying cause for the
aneurysm phenotype. However, aneurysms are never seen in mice deficient for elastin, or for
fibulin-5, which absence also leads to compromised elastic fibers.

Novelty and Significance
Fibulin-4 (Fbln4) is a secreted glycoprotein essential for the formation of elastic fibers. Fbln4-null mice develop aortic aneurysms and
die at birth from aneurysm rupture. Interestingly, however, mice deficient for the components of elastic fibers, such as elastin or fibulin-5,
do not develop aneurysms despite severe elastic fiber defects. These observations led us to hypothesize that fibulin-4 may play crucial
roles not only in elastogenesis but also for normal development of the aortic wall. By analyzing Fbln4-null and smooth muscle cell
(SMC)-specific Fbln4 knockout mice (Fbln4SMKO), we showed that fibulin-4 is critical for maintenance of a permissive and stable
environment for SMC differentiation. Second, we described focal proliferation of SMCs with marked upregulation of phosphorylated
(p)-ERK1/2 levels and disruption of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in aneurysm lesions. The aneurysm involving defective SMCs is
remarkably similar to a subset of human thoracic aortic aneurysms in which mutations of SMC-specific contractile genes have been
identified to be the cause. This new animal model provides opportunities for pharmacological interventions that target the ERK1/2 MAPK
signaling pathway for treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms. In addition, investigations of the mechanism underlying the altered signaling
in Fbln4SMKO mice will expand our knowledge on the role of ECM as a modulator of cell signaling.
What is known?
Fibulin-4 is an elastin binding ECM protein.
Congenital loss of fibulin-4 results in severe disruption of elastic fibers and aortic aneurysms in mice and humans.
New information contributed by this study?
Provides evidence that fibulin-4-induced phenotypic alterations of SMCs play a role in aneurysm development.
Shows that congenital loss of fibulin-4 leads to marked upregulation of phosphorylated (p)-ERK1/2 in SMCs and loss of SMC
contractile phenotype in aneurysm lesions.
Provides a basis for potential ERK1/2 signaling-targeted therapy for ascending aortic aneurysms in humans.

Objective—We sought to determine the mechanism of aneurysm development in the absence of
fibulin-4 and establish the role of fibulin-4 in aortic development.
Methods and Results—We generated germline and smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific deletion
of the fibulin-4 gene in mice (Fbln4GKO and Fbln4SMKO, respectively). Fbln4GKO and Fbln4SMKO
aortic walls fail to fully differentiate, exhibiting reduced expression of SM-specific contractile genes
and focal proliferation of SMCs accompanied by degenerative changes of the medial wall. Marked
upregulation of ERK1/2 signaling pathway was observed in the aneurysmal wall of Fbln4GKO and
Fbln4SMKO mice and both mutants developed aneurysm predominantly in the ascending thoracic
aorta. In vitro, Fbln4GKO SMCs exhibit an immature SMC phenotype with a marked reduction of
SM-myosin heavy chain and increased proliferative capacity.
Conclusion—The vascular phenotype in Fbln4 mutant mice is remarkably similar to a subset of
human thoracic aortic aneurysms caused by mutations in SMC contractile genes. Our study provides
a potential link between the intrinsic properties of SMCs and aneurysm progression in vivo and
supports the dual role of fibulin-4 in the formation of elastic fibers as well as terminal differentiation
and maturation of SMCs in the aortic wall.
Aneurysms; ECM; smooth muscle cells; mouse; elastic fibers
Aortic aneurysms are characterized by abnormal enlargements of the aorta caused by global
or localized weakness of the vessel wall. Traditionally, aneurysm formation is believed to
involve defects in synthesis or assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins or accelerated
degradation of vascular ECM (reviewed in 1, 2). For example, mutations in the fibrillin-1
(FBN1) or type III alpha 1 collagen gene (COL3A1) genes are responsible for Marfan syndrome
and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 3, 4, respectively. Mutations in Fbn1 profoundly affect
the formation of microfibrils that surround an elastin core and are required for proper assembly
of elastic fibers 5. Genetically-engineered mice provide further evidence that the vascular ECM
is the critical determinant of aneurysm development, including an allelic series of Fbn1 mutant
mice, and mice homozygous for null alleles of the genes encoding lysyl oxidase, a crosslinking
enzyme for elastin and collagen, and ECM proteins such as fibulin-4 (Fbln4) and biglycan
(Bgn) 6-9. In addition to the disruption of ECM in the vessel wall, alterations of SMC
intracellular contractile proteins have recently been shown to be responsible for subsets of
thoracic aneurysms in humans 10-12. Two heterozygous mutations in MYH11 (SM-MHC) were
identified in kindreds presenting with thoracic aortic aneurysms and/or aortic dissections
(TAADs) and patent ductus arteriosus. Heterozygous missense mutations in ACTA2 (SM α-
actin) were also found in 14% of inherited TAADs 12. Thus, the pathogenesis of aortic
aneurysm formation may involve abnormalities in homeostasis of vascular ECM proteins or
abnormal SMC development, or both.
Fibulin-4 belongs to the fibulin family of ECM proteins consisting of seven known members
characterized by tandem repeats of calcium-binding epidermal growth factor (cbEGF)-like
motifs and a C-terminal fibulin module 13. In the aorta, fibulin-5 is expressed at one magnitude
higher than fibulin-4 and its absence leads to compromised elastic fibers with aggregates of
elastin, but does not develop aneurysms. 14, 15. Fbln4-null (Fbln4-/-) mice, in contrast, exhibit
a more severe phenotype with perinatal lethality due to rupture of aortic aneurysms and marked
disruption of elastic fibers 8. Genetic mutations in the FBLN4 have also been identified in two
human cutis laxa patients, both of which exhibited aortic aneurysms 16, 17. Defective
elastogenesis was proposed to be an underlying cause of aortic aneuryms in Fbln4-/- mice,
however, elastin-null mice (Eln-/-) do not develop aortic aneurysms, rather they exhibit stenosis

of the aorta due to subendothelial proliferation of SMCs 18. It is not clear, therefore, whether
the phenotypic differences between Fbln4-/- and Fbln5-/- mice are due solely to the difference
in severity of elastic fiber defects. It is possible that fibulin-4 has additional function(s) that
act independent of, or in concert with, elastogenesis in the developing aorta. Recently,
hypomorphic Fbln4R/R mice were shown to contain increased phosphorylated (p)-Smad2,
enhanced production of CTGF and collagen fibers, and increased proliferation of SMCs in the
aortic wall 19. However, the precise mechanism of upregulation of TGF-β in Fbln4R/R mice or
whether it is a primary cause of the vascular phenotype is unclear, especially since SMC-
specific ablation of TGF-β receptor type 2 causes aortic aneurysms by down-regulating
elastogenic genes 20.
To determine the role of fibulin-4 in aneurysm formation, we generated mice with a germline
deletion or vascular cell-specific deletion of Fbln4. SMC-specific, but not endothelial cell
(EC)-specific knockout of Fbln4, resulted in the formation of large aneurysms exclusively in
the ascending aorta. We found that SMCs failed to fully differentiate in the absence of fibulin-4
in the aorta as evidenced by down-regulation of SMC-specific contractile protein genes and
an immature phenotype of Fbln4-null SMCs accompanied by focal hyperproliferation of SMCs
and degenerative changes affecting the integrity of the vessel wall. These data highlight a novel
role for fibulin-4 in the development of SMCs, and together with its role in the formation of
elastic fibers, fibulin-4 functions to protect the aortic wall against aneurysm formation in vivo.
Materials and Methods
Generation of conditional knockout mice is described in the expanded Materials and Methods
sections online.
Mechanical stretch
Two or 4 × 105 cells were plated on 6-well silicon elastomer-bottomed culture plates covalently
coated with type I collagen (Flexcell). After allowing cells to adhere to the plates (6-12 h), the
media was changed to serum free and incubated for 24 h to synchronize the cell cycle prior to
initiation of stretch stimulation. Cells were subjected to unidirectional cyclic strain (0.2 Hz and
20% strain) for 24 h in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C using FX-4000T Flexcell
Tension Plus system (Flexcell International). Cells incubated in static condition served as
Standard protocol was used for immunostaining, Western blotting, qPCR, gelatin zymography,
histological and electron microscopic analysis and is available online.
Germline and SMC-specific deletions of Fbln4 in vivo
To investigate aneurysm development in the absence of fibulin-4, we generated a conditional
allele of Fbln4 using Cre-loxP technique in ES cells (Online Figure IA). Fbln4neo-loxP mice
were mated with transgenic mice expressing the heat stable Flp-recombinase to generate mice
homozygous for Fbln4loxP/loxP (Online Figures IB, C). Fbln4neo-loxP mice were also mated
with CAG-Cre transgenic mice to delete Fbln4 in germline, and subsequently homozygous
mice for null alleles were generated (termed Fbln4GKO). In concordance with the previous
reported data 8, all Fbln4GKO mice died in or after parturition due to aneurysm rupture (Online
Figure ID) and quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR) confirmed absence of Fbln4 in the aorta of
Fbln4GKO mice (Online Figure IE).

Fbln4 is ubiquitously expressed during embryogenesis and is detected in both ECs and SMCs
in the aorta (Online Figures IIA, IIB). To determine the cell type responsible for the aneurysm
phenotype, we generated EC-specific and SMC-specific knockout mice for Fbln4 by mating
Fbln4loxP/loxP mice with transgenic mice expressing Cre-recombinase under a control of the
Tie2 promoter and SM22α promoter, respectively 21, 22. EC-specific knockout mice
(Fbln4loxP/GKO;Tie2-Cre, termed Fbln4ECKO) were healthy and indistinguishable from control
littermates. Histological finding of the aorta was normal (Online Figure III). In contrast, SMC-
specific knockout mice (Fbln4loxP/GKO;SM22-Cre, termed Fbln4SMKO) began to die
spontaneously at approximately 2 months of age despite absence of embryonic or neonatal
lethality. Aortae harvested from adult Fbln4SMKO mice exhibited large aneurysms exclusively
in the ascending aorta (Figure 1A). Aneurysms were observed in Fbln4SMKO mice with
complete penetrance. The ductus arteriosus was closed and the ligamentous remnant was
markedly elongated. qPCR confirmed a significant reduction of Fbln4 transcripts in the
ascending aorta where the aneurysms developed, as well as in the descending thoracic aorta
where only elongation was evident (Figure 1B). These data indicate that loss of SMC-derived
fibulin-4 is responsible for the aneurysm formation and that fibulin-4 derived from other cell
types compensated for aneurysm formation during embryonic life and perinatal lethality in
Fbln4SMKO mice.
Compromised elastic fibers, increased wall thickness and disarray of SMCs in the
Fbln4GKO aorta
To better understand the pathological processes of aneurysm formation in the absence of
Fbln4, we performed a developmental analysis of the ascending aorta in Fbln4GKO embryos.
Consistent with a previous observation 8, elastic fibers were clearly detected in the aortic wall
of wild-type embryos at E14.5, whereas elastic fibers were decreased in the aorta from
Fbln4GKO embryos (Online Figures IVb, d). Despite compromised elastic fibers in the
Fbln4GKO aorta, at this timepoint, the overall morphology of SMCs was indistinguishable from
the wild-type (Online Figures IVa, IVc). From E15.5, elastic fibers increased progressively in
the wild-type aorta and SMCs became spindle-shaped with elongated nuclei (Online Figures
IVe-f, IVi-j). In the Fbln4GKO aorta, however, elastic fiber assembly remained defective and
SMCs appeared immature with round nuclei (Online Figure IVg-h, IVk-l). Although not
reported previously, eosin-positive focal degeneration and marked proliferation of SMCs were
observed in aneurysmal lesions of the Fbln4GKO aorta at E17.5 (Online Figure IVo) and E18.5
(arrow in Figure 2b). The degenerative area was devoid of elastic fibers and did not stain with
Alcian Blue-PAS, indicating no accumulation of polysaccharides or mucins (Figure 2d and
Online Figure IVp, data not shown). Only a small numbers of neutrophils and mononuclear
cells were detected around degenerative lesions and some infiltrating through the intima
(Online Figure VAa). In advanced lesions with dissection, more infiltrates were observed
within the vessel wall (Online Figure VAb). No difference in proMMP-2 or MMP-2 levels was
observed between wild-type and Fbln4GKO descending thoracic aortae (Online Figure VB).
Interestingly, this focal degeneration of the aortic wall was not detected in embryos younger
than E17.5. Since Fbln4GKO mutants die in or after parturition, we further characterized the
aortic wall at E18.5. A significant upregulation of p-ERK in ECs and SMCs was observed in
the Fbln4GKO aorta (Figure 2f) and GRP78, a marker of the endoplasmic reticulum stress
response, was upregulated in SMCs surrounding the degenerative area (Figure 2h). Increased
apoptotic cells were also observed in both ECs and SMCs in degenerative areas (data not
shown) as well as in advanced aneurysmal lesions (Figure 2j). These observations suggest that
aneurysm development in Fbln4GKO mice involved not only defective elastic fibers but also
abnormal SMCs with degenerative medial wall changes.

Defects in terminal differentiation of SMCs in Fbln4GKO aorta
Histological abnormalities in SMCs of the Fbln4GKO aorta led us to further evaluate the SMC
phenotype in Fbln4GKO embryos. Specifically, we examined expression of SMC
differentiation markers in wild-type and Fbln4GKO descending thoracic aortae at E16.5. In the
wild-type aorta, SM α-actin and SM-MHC, early and late SMC differentiation markers,
respectively, were expressed throughout the aortic wall (Figures 3Aa and 3Ac). In the
Fbln4GKO aorta, the intensity of both markers was not homogenous along the longitudinal axis
of the aorta, particularly for SM-MHC (Figures 3Ab and 3Ad). At E18.5, SM α-actin and SM-
MHC levels were increased in both wild-type and mutant aortae. The mutant aorta, however,
still exhibited reduced marker expression compared to the wild-type aorta (Figures 3Ai-3Al).
To confirm these findings, tissue extracts from the descending thoracic aorta devoid of
aneurysm lesions from Fbln4GKO embryos were compared with those of wild-type embryos
by Western analysis (Figure 3B). Consistent with tissue immunostaining, we observed
significant decreases in SM-MHC and α-SM-actin expression. In addition, a marked increase
in MAPK signaling pathways, including p-ERK1/2 and p-MEK1/2, was observed in mutant
aortae (Figure 3B). Other components of MAPK pathways were only moderately increased in
the mutants.
Disrupted wall structure and alterations of SMC gene expression in Fbln4GKO aorta
It has been shown that the aorta lacking elastin exhibits increased SMC proliferation and
changes in SMC organization 18. We therefore examined aortic ultrastructure at the electron
microscopic level in E18.5 embryos. In the wild-type aorta, near continuous elastic laminae
were observed throughout the aortic wall, with those closer to the lumen being more completely
formed at this time (Figures 4Aa, 4Ac). SMCs maintained close contacts with neighboring
cells and developing elastic fibers. In contrast, discontinuous aggregates of elastin were
observed in the Fbln4GKO aorta (Figure 4Ab, arrow). Higher magnification showed loose cell-
cell associations and very few cell-elastin contacts with increased pericellular spaces in the
Fbln4GKO aorta, exhibiting an immature vessel wall (Figure 4Ad).
To examine if the absence of fibulin-4 affected SMC-specific gene expression in the aortic
wall, we performed qPCR analysis using E18.5 descending thoracic aorta from wild-type and
Fbln4GKO mice. SMC-specific genes, including Acta2 and Myh11, were downregulated in the
mutant aorta (Figure 4B), consistent with the data obtained from Western blot and
immunostaining analyses (Figure 3). Interestingly, transcription factors involved in SMC
differentiation, including Myocd (myocardin), Mkl1 (myocardin-like 1/MAL/MRTF-A) and
Mkl2 (myocardin-like 2/MRTF-B) were also downregulated. Because the lack of intact elastic
fibers has been shown to affect SMC phenotype in the Eln-/- aorta, and recombinant tropoelastin
induced actin polymerization without changing actin expression in Eln-/- SMCs 23, the
immature phenotypes of Fbln4GKO SMCs may be secondary to the loss of intact elastic fibers.
To examine this possibility, we evaluated the expression profile of SMC marker genes in
Eln-/- aortae. Transcripts for Myocd, Mkl1, Mkl2, Myh11 or Acta2 were not downregulated in
Eln-/- aortae (Online Figure VI). Rather, Myocd, Myh11 and Acta2 were upregulated compared
to wild-type aortae. Although we cannot completely distinguish a direct or elastic fiber-
mediated role of fibulin-4 on differentiation of SMCs in the current experimental system, the
distinct transcriptional profile of the Fbln4GKO aorta suggest a unique and/or additional role
of fibulin-4 in development of the aortic wall.
Loss of fibulin-4 results in an immature phenotype in Fbln4GKO SMCs
To further investigate the effect of loss of fibulin-4 on SMC phenotype, we isolated SMCs
from the aorta of wild-type or Fbln4GKO embryos between E17.5 and E18.5. Morphological
analysis with phalloidin staining revealed that stress fibers were decreased and cortical actin
staining more prominent in Fbln4GKO SMCs compared to wild-type SMCs (Figure 5A). SM-

Staff are a little too clinical and not over familiar with guests, which I would rather be able to have a conversation with at the bar for example. Pool and gym is excellent though there is no hot tub to relax in. Still the best hotel and room I've ever stayed in

Historical Traveler Reviews Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge Dublin
Best location
We stayed for 4 days between Xmas and New Year at this very centrally located hotel. It is on the Liffey by the O'Connell Bridge, some 300 yds from the DART station and bus stops. Shops and restaurants are within easy reach and all major tourist sights are within walking distance.
Our room was huge with 2 spare beds! Comfortable and clean. Hearty breakfast available with friendly staff. We avoided the Knights Bar which was packed every night for live music and dancing because it was so noisy and crowded.
If you have time escape on the DART to Bray for a walk along the promenade with views of the Wicklow Hills or go in the other direction to Howth for splendid seafood at the Aqua Restaurant on the west pier with views out to sea.
We will return.
Fun hotel in a great location!
We stayed at the Arlington from Nov 14-16th 2004. The hotel has large, modern, well equiped & very clean rooms. The location is on the north bank of the Liffy within walking distance of Trinity College & Temple Bar area. The first floor of the hotel contains a hot night club featuring free Irish music & dancers every night which was a real treat, although the hotel can be noisy on weekends. There is a free all you can eat breakfast buffet which was very nice.
Loves Everything
We visited for a night out and it was one of the best of my life. The staff were great, the band were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Definatley recommended
Magic mid-week at the Arlington
We had a lovely time at the Arlington Hotel in the last week of August. After parking our car in the secure underground car park, we were shown to our very nice room by a very friendly and helpful porter. The entertainment all evening was excellent, incuding the Irish dancers and live groups each evening. The place was buzzing.
Fantastic location for all shops, attractions and the Temple Bar district. We would definitely stay here again.
Spacious rooms
Stayed for 3 nights. Hotel is in a convenient location - right on the River Liffey near O'Connell Street, short walk to Temple Bar and other attractions. Rooms were quite large and clean, bathroom was also large and had granite countertops and a huge bathtub. Our room overlooked the alley, which wasn't the greatest view, and music from the bar downstairs would be louder than we wanted, though only with the windows open. Breakfast was great - huge buffet to choose from as well as table service in a large restaurant. We booked through Hotels and everything was supposed to be included, but when we checked in we had to pay for breakfast and some nominal room charges - not expensive, but also not expected.
Great Atmosphere
Just back from a long weekend at the Arlington Hotel in Dublin. You must pay this hotel a visit as the live Iris music in the bar and the Irish dancers are great. The whole atmosphere is brilliant. There is a nightclub in the basement and the Sunday night with 60's,70's,80's and 90's music is a must if you like a good dance and sing along. Rooms are a good size, and the food is also good, not sure if i would class it a 3 star superior though but the entertainment maybe comes into the classing. Staff are very friendly especially in the breakfast room. I would also recommend a visit to the Thunder Road Cafe in Temple Bar where the food is great and again an excellent atmosphere. A big bonus is the no smoking policy. Downside was expensive drinks we are really being ripped off there, stock up on your duty free before you go, or else take lots of euros with you. Won't stop me going back.
Brilliant atmosphere for a lively weekend
We have stayed at the Arlington in December for the past two years. On both occasions we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean and the hotel itself is in an ideal situation for all the sights and shopping. It can be a bit lively and noisy but there is a lot of entertainment on offer including traditional music and dancing. The bar food at night wasn't too good but we have to recommend the breakfast. This is done in self-service style (even the hot food) so you can help yourself to whatever you like and you don't have to wait for it to be served. Believe it or not this system seems to work remarkably well and the food is always hot when you get it! One recommendation though, they need to make more than one toaster available!!
Great music & dancing
Fantastic location, in the heart of Dublin and on the banks of the Liffey. Great for families, although they don't offer a baby listening service. The only problem we experienced was with the bar meals in the evening - the waiters often misunderstood our order and the food was cold when it arrived. For the rest of the day, the food is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.
Arlington night out
On a recent visit to Dublin in January, we visited the Arlington for a night out, music upstairs great!, downstairs for a meal and Irish Dancers, brilliant . The only complaint we had was for the waiter service, not only could he not understand us clearly, but when he made mistakes with our drinks we were shouted and sworn at for no reason, other than his own incompetence. He then proceeded to ignore our table and we had to wait 45mins for someone to serve us. When we complained it was ignored. This blighted an otherwise fantastic and energetic evening. Good manners cost nothing.
The Arlington Hotel Dublin
Great hotel. Rooms clean and spacious. Staff friendly and helpful. Live music nightly in hotel bar which gets very busy but creates a fantastic atmosphere. Central location on banks of Liffy close to Temple Bar.
Good value for money well worth a visit

Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
The Cubs have sent RHP Casey Weathers outright to AAA Iowa.
The Cubs MLB Reserve List (40-man roster) now stands at 39 (one slot is open), and the 2012 Spring Training roster has been cut to 57.
Injured players who accrued no MLB Service Time the previous season and who were not Rule 5 Draft picks can be sent to the minors anytime up to 15 days prior to MLB Opening Day, so this move may have been made to preclude having to put Weathers on the MLB DL (where he would be making $480K) in the event that he suddenly turns up with a sore arm. (The Cubs can now pay him at the minor league split rate even if he ends up on the DL at Iowa).
Of course, it wasn't necessary to outright Weathers to the minors (he could have just been optioned), but the Cubs might be looking ahead to having to add some players to the 40-man roster by Opening Day (perhaps RHP Rodrigo Lopez and LHP Trever Miller, plus possibly OF Jorge Soler, too), and this will give them the roster flexibility they will need to do that.
A 1st round pick of the Rockies out of Vanderbilt in 2007 and the closer for Team USA in the 2008 Olympics, Weathers has not been able to come back from 2009 TJS. He battled control issues post-TJS in the minors in 2010 and 2011, he struggled in the AFL last fall, and he has pitched poorly so far this spring.
The 26-year old Weathers was acquired with 3B Ian Stewart from the Colorado Rockies for OF Tyler Colvin and INF D. J. LeMahieu this past off-season.
Weathers is not eligible to be a Rule 55 minor league free-agent (6YFA) until post-2013.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Soooo... can we just forget about him for the rest of the year?
and down to 1
Colston resigns with Saints.
Joe Mather
Caridad sent to minor league camp
as well today.
I just noticed the Houston Texans released Eric Winston yesterday. He's a pretty good offensive tackle that I wouldn't mind seeing in a Bears uniform.
Lineup for Tues
DeJesus 9, Barney 4, Castro 6, Soriano 7, LaHair 3, Mather 5, Clevenger 2, Sappelt 8, Volstad 1.

Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Kind of... he turns 28 next week. But yes, still young enough to be good a few years.

And he's a typical #1-style diva, but they had to upgrade.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Ya, he is your prototypical diva. I'll take it.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Get Mike Wallace and you have a O comparable to Green bay.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Excellent start to the off-season. Now sign an offensive lineman, and draft defense.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
As I mentioned a few comments above, they could get Winston, maybe, for a good price, free agent-wise. I think there are a couple other good offensive linemen out there, too. I'd rather they beef up that secondary than go after Williams, myself, although a Williams/Peppers combo would be pretty scary
Re: OL
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Thanks, Rob.
Sign 'em all!!
I want to see a wall of steel around Cutler this coming season and see what this guy can really do. If it turns out he can't get to the next level, I want to know it isn't because of the crap around him.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
If you watched his games last season, he was at the next level. The production was all him and Forte. Him by creating ridiculous situations out of nothing by scrambling, throwing off balance passes, etc. He was a huge case in point that stats in football must be seriously contextualized.
I have zero doubts that he was an elite QB for us comparable to the other elite QBs in the league and better than the one who won the SB.
Re: Cubs Outright Casey Weathers to Iowa
Oh, don't mistake me for a Cutler hater at all. I have always liked him. I'll be REALLY surprised if, given even a reasonable cast of characters around him, he doesn't kick some serious ass. Martz had no clue how to use the guy. That didn't help things.

it's day old news, and it's got nothing to do with the cubs, but ichiro signed a $2m deal with MIA (with a $2m option for 2017).
neat. 41 years old and damn close to 3000 hits.
also, rain delays suck.
take that giants
I think that if a team objects to the 1-game wildcard playin game so much, they could just win the pennant and avoid themselves the trouble.
Per Jesse Sanchez at mlb.com, Cubs reportedly have signed 20-year old Cuban OF Eddy Julio Martinez for $3M bonus.
BLOCK: Of course any advantage is an advantage. An MLB, NBA, or NHL team getting the extra game at home in a seven game series is an advantage, I just don't think it is enough of an advantage for winning a division and/or having the best record in a conference or league over the course of an 82-game season (NBA and NHL) or 162 game series (MLB).
TEX takes the opening game from TOR (@TOR) 5-3.
TOR lost bautista + donaldson in-game due to injuries...TEX lost beltre...dunno if any will be lingering issues leading to missed games.
Ride the Kid Magic! Schwarber hadn't homered in a long time before last night.
Greg Maddux was 8-18 in his rookie season. Kyle has the 8 wins down pat.
Think Baby Maddux.
Prof. Harold Hill's THINK system at work.
Kyle is on the far left.
I support this. Hendricks has not only looked better lately but seems to start struggling after a few innings which is better than the 1st in the playoffs.
Just tweeted via Jesse Rogers: Hendricks starting Game 2. Wow. Just wow.
That was good!
Well said. On one hand, I thought the HBP was a bad baseball play -- down 4 runs, put a runner on for a red-hot Fowler. On the other hand, they needed to do something -- I hadn't thought about the warning/pitching inside point. Is Hurdle that smart? He does not strike me that way. By the way -- not clear which fan base you are referring to in your "first" 3rd point.
My unsolicited opinions on topics covered in this thread:
1. I hate the fact that after 162 games, a team could be out after 1 game. However, I think the system is pretty close to perfect right now. 2 of 3 isn't feasible unless they shorten the regular season, and it ices the division winners for way too long. This creates excitement, and rewards the division winners.
Personally, I think the game could have had a very different look had the Pirates held onto the ball and tagged Fowler out on the steal in the first. Cole was clearly frazzled, but if they took that runner off the base, it could have relaxed him a lot.
Football games are played once a week. There are 16 games a year. I'm not even remotely following at all how you can compare the two leagues and playoff systems. It is physically impossible to play a home and away series. The idea of not having any road games in baseball playoffs is certainly a head scratcher.
How is not having the first and last game at home a benefit for the division winners and team with the best record? How is it not an incentive to win the division when a WC team has to blow their top pitcher?
Call me lost.
Two 97+ win teams in a do-or-die, great bullpens, overpowering starters, plenty of pop--hard to believe that game wouldn't be tense. A 4-0 lead is not a blowout, especially in that situation and with the Cubs' young bullpen. Not only would a defensive play here or there make a difference, but you get the win there also on the home plate umps strike zone (generous strike calls for Arrieta, including a couple Ks), and on Schwarber sitting on the right pitch at the right time.

Multiplatform Package Manager
After seven months of development, the highly portable, distribution independent package manager RPM 5.0.0 has now been released.
The package management system, which was originally developed by Red Hat, has been reworked by a project team in collaboration with OpenPKG starting in spring 2007. The rework involved rewriting or updating major parts of the code. The build environment, which is based on automake, autoconf and libtool was programmed completely from scratch. Support is now available for external links to third party libraries. Support for obsolete RPMRC files has been dropped; the configuration now uses RPM throughout.
The RPM code can now be compiled with almost any C complier, including GNU GCC, Sun Studio, and Intel C/C++ on most major platforms, such as BSD, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin. Besides LZMA compression RPM now also supports the XML archive file format (XAR). Support for the older RPMv3 format has been dropped due to code cleanups and simplification. The software will still support RPMv4 type packages.
New features for package specifications have been added (spec files) including new tags and sections. All changes and new features are described in the official announcement.
The RPM command line tool was developed by Erik Troan and Marc Ewing in 1997 as the "Red Hat Package Manager" and later renamed to "RPM Package Manager". The package manager was adopted later by other distributions and platforms such as Suse, Mandriva and AIX with ongoing development by the community. It remains to be seen whether RPM 5.0 will succeed. Neither Red Hat nor Novell support the project. Instead, they have their own versions of the package manager. The source code for RPM 5.0 is available from the project website.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Covenant House Michigan, Detroit, MI, USA
Covenant House Michigan has a simple call: To love and care for all children and young adults unconditionally. The way they meet that call far exceeds expectations. Most people know CHM offers shelter, food, clothing, and even healthcare services on-site. Did you know it also offers a transitional living program where youths may live up to two years learning to live independently, get a job, and save money? Or that CHM runs three charter schools in Detroit in addition to GED prep classes on its campus? How about the community service centers that provide inner-city kids a safe haven to spend free time engaging in crafts, counseling, computer classes, ESL instruction and other forms of crisis intervention? These services and more are part of a comprehensive "contiuum of care" aimed at equipping all kids with physical, educational, emotional, psychological and spiritual tools and OPPORTUNITIES to succeed, beginning with simply keeping them off the streets. I find it amazing that CHM continued EXPANDING its mission even during this crippling recession. There's an inverse relationship between economic prosperity and demand for CHM's services: as the economy worsens, people donate less which cuts into CHM's budget; yet schools are closing, people are losing their homes, and more kids end up on the street without access to basic necesseties or stability in their lives. So, money goes down while demand goes up. It speaks not only to the quality of CHM staff, but also its amazing base of donors and volunteers who all feel compelled to help a little bit more in times like these.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
making friends with its staff.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
ordinary people trying to understand and lift up a wounded part of society.
Ways to make it better...
I could offer more time.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
keeping kids encouraged as they graduate or obtain their GED in the face of Detroit's fifteen-plus percent unemployment.
One thing I'd also say is that...
it's hard to convince kids to come through CHM's gates when they don't trust anyone; keep them there when they're so used to struggling; convince them that the work is worth the reward; and accept love when they feel unworthy.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

The location of this little gem is perfect for exploring Venice.
This place really is just a stroll from all the sights of the city.
The hotel was very opulent , the only thing that let the room down in anyway was the shower was a little tired. We found the staff very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was perfectly addiquat but it would have been nice to have had fresh fruit and croissants .

Rock n' roll, sexy girls, and taking control of your life! Help fund the 2nd print compilation of "Oh Goodie!" (ohgoodie.net) Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on January 23, 2012.
Rock n' roll, sexy girls, and taking control of your life! Help fund the 2nd print compilation of "Oh Goodie!" (ohgoodie.net)
About this project
"Oh Goodie!" is my webcomic, an anarchist teen comedy about rock music, friendship, and taking control of your life (http://ohgoodie.net). It's run for two years now, and the first compilation volume "Introduce Yourself" was released in 2011. I took to any convention I could, covering both coasts in less than a year. I've made great strides since then, but it really hurt me financially. So in 2012 I want to go local (anything around Chicago or the Midwest) and focus all the energy I can there in the promotion of the second volume "Working Man". But I need help to make it happen.
My goal is modest ($2000) and the time frame for donation is wide (55 days). It may not seem like much, but that $2000 will give me more than enough to print up a new batch of BOTH my books along with special edition prints, and it will be enough to secure table space at the conventions I hope to sell these books at. Really, this scant $2000 will have me set for the entire year of 2012.
And it goes without saying, but you'll have my undying gratitude for your help and contribution. Donate now and I won't just send you a book; I'll sing your praises.

More than one-quarter of video watching in U.S. households with broadband access is done on PCs, smartphones and tablet computers, according to Parks Associates. Tablet owners watch 36 minutes of video a week on their devices, the market-research firm reports. "One-third of U.S. broadband households streamed a TV show in the past 30 days, and these consumer viewing habits are raising expectations for new service offerings," said Brett Sappington, director of research with Parks Associates.

The Giving USA Foundation released a report called "Giving USA 2010," which indicates that total charitable giving for 2009 was approximately $303.75 billion. Individuals accounted for 75% of all giving, or $227.41 billion. Despite a challenging economic climate, individuals are still inclined to make charitable contributions to a variety of causes. The media provides us with ample opportunities for charitable giving, and easy and convenient ways to send the money - often with just a text message. (For more, see Give To Charity; Slash Your Tax Payment.)
We don't always see the effects of our generosity. Donating locally allows individuals to feel connected to their communities and see how their giving creates positive change. A small donation can go a long way to aid a local non-profit organization. Here are eight ways you can donate locally and make a positive contribution to your community.
IN PICTURES: How To Make Your First $1 Million
- DonorsChoose.org
DonorsChoose.org connects donors with local classrooms in need. Donors can search for school projects by state, district, subject or by urgency. Projects include raising money to take a field trip to a science museum or purchasing weekly reading books for elementary school children. Donors receive thank-you letters from the teacher along with a cost report of how each dollar was spent. Donors who give more than $100 will also receive hand-written letters from the students.
- Food Banks
One in six people in the United States is at risk for hunger. Feeding America (www.feedingamerica.org) is a non-profit organization that assists individuals and families in need of food. By visiting its website and using the Food Bank Locator tool, donors can find food banks that serve their region. Typically, food banks are happy to accept donations of money, food and/or volunteerism. (Learn more about donations, in Give To Charity; Slash Your Tax Payment.)
- Family Resource Centers
Most communities have a family resource center that develops and provides programs and services to strengthen families in the area. These can include educational programs to assist with parenting skills, teen mentoring programs or holiday meal and/or gift drives providing for needy families.
Since most of these centers exist within a small budget, contributions are always welcome. Contact your city or county government office, or search on www.statelocalgov.net, to find out if your community has a family resource center.
- Domestic Violence Shelters
According to the National Network To End Domestic Violence, more than 65,000 adults and children in the United States are served each day by domestic violence programs. These programs receive funding from foundations, corporations and government sources, but are in constant need of further funding to provide care to needy adults and children. Contact your local city or county government office, or the Department or Social Services to find a local shelter in need of donations ranging from money to clothing and blankets.
- Animal Shelters
Animal shelters provide housing, medical treatment and adoption services for troubled animals. Most, if not all, shelters have more animals than they can support. In an attempt to curb the fast-growing population of unwanted animals, these shelters usually offer discounted or free spay and neuter procedures.
With so many animals to care for, local shelters are in need of money, food, toys, supplies and volunteers. You can find a local shelter by visiting www.animalshelter.org and clicking on "Animal Shelters" to search by state or zip code. (For more, see The Economics Of Pet Ownership.)
- Thrift Shops
Many non-profits operate local thrift shops (second-hand stores) as a means of raising money for the organizations. You can donate items such as clothes, books, computers, furniture or toys to the thrift shop. They, in turn, sell the items and the money earned goes towards the non-profit. Some areas have numerous thrift shops, so you may want to research what each benefits to ensure you are donating to a cause that you would like to support.
- Rotary Club
Rotary International is a service club organization with more than 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members volunteer locally, regionally and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training and promote peace. Local rotary clubs accept donations to assist with ongoing and special projects, including community improvements or scholarship funds.
Visit www.rotary.org and click on "Club Locator" at the top to find a local Rotary club. You can search by club name, city, town or district number.
- Other Non-Profits.
Each city typically has many more non-profits that may be specific to the area, such as a local community theater or environmental cause like protecting a wilderness area. A bit of research and you might find a local charitable organization that falls in line with your interests.
NonProfitList.org (www.nonprofitlist.org) allows you to search by state and city for non-profit organizations.

The Bottom Line
Giving locally does not mean you cannot give to broader causes as well. One advantage to giving locally is that the donations can exist in many forms, such as money, clothes, food, time or expertise. Another aspect of local giving is that many people enjoy knowing they are doing something to help improve their communities. There are countless worthy causes on local, regional, national and international levels, and deciding which ones to support can be a challenge. (Want to see where the most charitable communities are?

GENERAL John E. Wool had served with distinction as a major of infantry in the War of 1812, as well as later in the war with Mexico. Although he was already seventy-two when South Carolina fired on Sumter, he volunteered and took an honorable part throughout the war.1 And now in September, 1866, at the age of seventy-eight, he was still eager "to preserve the Union." Together with other distinguished Union officers, he came forward to rally the disorganized supporters of Andrew Johnson's cause by bringing together a "soldiers and sailors convention." It met on September 17th in Cleveland,--two days after the President's return to Washington.2
As delegates there came many who had won imperishable names upon the field of battle.3 Some were outspoken Democrats, some were Republicans, but into this convention they had come neither as Democrats nor Republicans, but Americans. Among them all there was no more gallant figure than that of General George Custer. Graduating from West Point in 1861, he had joined his regiment on the battlefield of Bull Run. In October, 1863, at the age of twenty-four, his shoulders shone with the two stars of a major-general! At Woodstock and Yellow Tavern, and afterwards at Dinwiddie and Five Forks, he won fame. But it was in the decisive battle of Cedar Creek that his gallantry had been most conspicuous.4
Custer was precisely a man after Andrew Johnson's heart, and this singularly gallant young cavalryman found in the President the qualities to rally all of his enthusiasm. He had accompanied the Presidential party on the "Swing Around the Circle." At Louisville, while an old Revolutionary soldier was boarding the train to greet the President, some Radicals standing about, uttered derisive groans. Hearing these, Custer stepped out on the plat-

British food artists Bompas & Parr curated a unique dining experience in partnership with the auto maker, complete with a light installation, revolving restaurant, and roller girls.
Bompas & Parr curated a food and car extravaganza ahead of London Fashion Week with the 'Mercedes Drive Thru,' located beneath Selfridges in the 40m long marble entrance to the Old Selfridges Hotel. The Drive Thru aimed to turn the enjoyment of dining in a car into an exceptional sensory experience, with a revolving restaurant, roller girls, uniforms by Tour de Force, and an unforgettable menu for the fashion world.
Bompas & Parr worked with light artists Jason Bruges Studio to create a pulsating light installation that illuminated as guests drove through it. Sam Bompas said:

Vt. to receive $9 million for rail upgradesThe Associated Press | September 05,2013BURLINGTON - The U.S. Department of Transportation is going to spend nearly $9 million to help upgrade the railroad network in western Vermont.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Joe Szabo are planning to discuss the issue Thursday afternoon in Burlington.
The Vermont grant is one of 52 projects in 37 states that were announced Thursday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Vermont rail officials have worked for years to upgrade the railroad network from Bennington to Burlington to improve the connection with rail lines in New York.
Earlier this year the New England Central Railroad, most of which is in eastern Vermont, completed a series of track upgrades with help of a $50 million federal stimulus grant. Rail beds, bridges and tracks were upgraded for passenger and freight trains.MORE IN This Just In
